| Mythrin Hazlin from from the Out of the grave series is another good one. |

Has anyone read The Legend of Eli Monpress by Rachel Aaron? Sounds fun...I think I'll drop by the bookstore and grab this! |

| I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Jak Fleet yet. For me, he embodies the classical thief. Besides, halfilings rule. Also his god is awesomeness. |

I played Chrono Trigger, does that count? 
-Halfway. If you played Chrono Cross, you get a slight penalty for it sucking so much, and if you played Radical Dreamers, you get a slight bonus for it being pretty cool. Either way, your assignment is to play Final Fantasy VI and report back to me periodically on it's awesomeness.
I ll only played final fantasy 8 onwards. So how does that count in your rankings |

Probably because, unlike most that have been mentioned and voted, he's lived a rather "short" life. |

-I liked VIII at the time, but after there the series really took a nosedive.

-I wasn't a fan of his, but I didn't like him too much either. His "afterword" scene when Cale attempted to bring him back to life left me with generally positive feelings. |

I am not familiar with anything in the poll other than Cyric :S So I didn't vote.
Imoen from the Baldur's Gate game is my favourite thief. |

I liked him, a little. Especially how he connected to his friends. Though he's way low on my Favorite Thieves List. |

Macore. Lets see if anyone knows who he is.
Your own character, I suppose.
No. He was a thief in the River of Dancing Gods series by Jack L Chalker (RIP). The wizard in it has a most awesome name, Throckmorton P Ruddygore. |

Favourites change with the moment and the mood.
So having said that, my current favourite thief is Kvothe from the Kingkiller books by Patrick Rothfuss. (Although it could be argued he's more a bard.)
Edit: Perhaps Sinbad could be my all time favourite. |
